Hey, I figured I'd start a thread for the few WinMo users on here... I know a few threads gravitated towards the topic, but they were all about phones and hardware.
This is a place for the software side of things... Windows Mobile and software for it.
About a month ago I budged and grabbed a WinMo 6.5 ROM for my Samsung Omnia. Given this is Windows it took quite a while to get everything sorted, but I finally got everything worked out after a few nights of tinkering.
I read a really scathing (pre-)review of 6.5 on Engadget... glad to report those guys don't know what they're on about. This is a great improvement to WinMo 6.1 and older versions. It might still not look quite as eye-catching as the competitors, but it looks much better than before and functionality is top notch.
I've tried all sorts of WinMo interface alternatives... Samsung's widgets, HTC's TouchFlo, iFonz (iPhone-like homepage), Spb Mobile Shell and others. This is definitely the cleanest and least cluttered of them bunch.
I made some screenshots of the new stuff in WinMo 6.5... obviously it's not all standard issue, but I've grown to like my phone all over again... the ugly underpinnings of 6.1 were starting to get to me.
